Mobile AHD camera Autone ATE-CAM-AHD918-PL03 — 1080p resolution, 1.7 mm lens

The Autone ATE-CAM-AHD918-PL03 mobile AHD camera delivers full HD 1080p video with a 1.7 mm wide‑angle lens designed for vehicle surveillance and mobile video monitoring. Built to provide a broad field of view, this camera outputs analog AHD signal for direct connection to compatible AHD recorders and monitors. It is compact and intended for installation in buses, vans, trucks and other fleet vehicles where continuous or event‑based recording is required.

Advantages

The camera offers 1080p resolution for clear image capture and a 1.7 mm lens that provides a wide viewing angle to cover large interior or exterior areas. AHD analog output ensures compatibility with many existing vehicle DVR systems without the need for digital network infrastructure. The unit is compact and made for mobile installation, allowing flexible mounting positions and straightforward integration into vehicle surveillance setups.

Suitable for

• Fleet vehicles and company cars requiring continuous or event recording
• Buses and passenger transport for interior or exterior monitoring
• Delivery vans and light commercial vehicles for cargo and driver monitoring
• Mobile security installations where a wide field of view is needed

When it may not be suitable

This camera provides analog AHD output rather than IP or network streaming, so it may not be suitable where Ethernet-based network management, remote cloud recording or PoE power delivery are required. It also uses a fixed 1.7 mm lens; for applications needing optical zoom or very long-range detail capture, a different camera with varifocal or telephoto optics would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Video resolution: 1080p (Full HD)
• Lens focal length: 1.7 mm (wide angle)
• Video output: AHD analog
• Intended application: mobile/vehicle surveillance
• Typical mounting: interior or exterior vehicle installation

How to use

Install the camera in a suitable position inside or outside the vehicle where the wide angle covers the target area. Connect the video output to a compatible AHD recorder or monitor using appropriate coaxial cabling and ensure a stable power connection according to the recorder or vehicle wiring scheme. Adjust mounting angle and secure the unit to withstand vehicle vibration. Test image framing and recording before regular operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility of AHD analog output with your existing recorder or monitor
• Evaluate whether a fixed wide‑angle 1.7 mm lens meets the detail and coverage needs
• Check mounting space and vibration resistance for intended vehicle type
• Plan power supply and cabling routing according to vehicle electrical layout

Usage recommendations

Position the camera to exploit its wide field of view while avoiding direct exposure to bright light sources that can reduce image quality; pair with an AHD recorder that supports 1080p capture and set appropriate recording modes (continuous, motion or event) to balance storage and coverage needs.
